Advances in Macrobotanical and Microbotanical Archaeobotany Part 1

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Advances in Macrobotanical and Microbotanical Archaeobotany Part 1" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This symposium, sponsored by the Archaeobotany Interest Group, provides a forum for the dissemination of recent methodological and theoretical innovations in both macrobotanical and microbotanical archaeobotany. Papers in this symposium span time and world regions, and address the full range of research questions explored in archaeobotany, in order to display the current state of the field. The symposium welcomes the work of early-career scholars and established researchers alike, and invites presentations from academic, public, community, and compliance archaeology. The goal of this session is to explore recent developments in the study of human-plant interactions, and we welcome papers that highlight new archaeological case studies or new analytical techniques.
